Just as a protein drink replacement that’s a serious meal!!
no more so than most of the other suggestions in the thread! I know that lots of people like a post-ride shake for the convenience, but I quite like the act of preparing something filling after a hard workout, even if it’s dead simple to make (like beans on toast).
If I know I’m pushed for time, then I leave some Bircher porridge (oats, granola, raisins, apple juice) in the fridge to soak overnight, then have that right after I ride.

That’s the stuff!
If not having a recovery shake, my go to post workout food is either;
Almond and Raisen Granola, with Oat Greek Style Yoghurt and a squeeze of honey. Maybe some raspberries/strawberries/blueberries depending on what’s in the fridge.
or
Scrambled eggs on buttered toast.
or if lazy/in a rush to get somewhere, a high protein cereal bar and a quick glass of oat milk or fruit juice.
Seems to keep me going.

Yes, just wasn’t sure whether that included not wanting to supplement at all.
As I posted, I supplement with whey, but rarely in a shake. In porridge/ oatmeal (both post morning workout, and evening carb top off ahead of morning workouts) or mixed with natural greek yogurt and then with a fruit salad.
Another way is to blitz up the whey with frozen berries to quite a thick consistency, and use it like frozen yogurt or ice cream with fresh fruit and/ or cereal.
Skim Milk.
I go through 4 gallons per week. I just like it and it’s ultra-efficient/cheap. Nothing special about it or anything like that.
